The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has announced that this Wednesday he will deliver a prime-time address to the nation, and he has indicated that, although it has been a great year for the United States, "the best is yet to come."
The address, which will be broadcast live from the White House at 9:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), is generating anticipation due to both its content and the political moment chosen for its delivery.
“Compatriots: I will give a SPEECH TO THE NATION tomorrow night, LIVE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, at 9:00 p.m. EST. I look forward to seeing you then. It has been a great year for our country, and THE BEST IS YET TO COME!,” the president wrote this Tuesday on his platform Truth Social.
A management report with a triumphalist tone
A few days away from marking his first year back in power, the president has chosen to address the nation in a speech where, according to his spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, he will provide a review of "his historic achievements of this year" and offer insights into the decisions he will make in 2026.
"He will speak extensively about the achievements of the last 11 months, everything he has done to restore greatness to our country, and what he plans to do to continue serving the American people over the next three years," Leavitt told Fox News.
Expected topics: Economy, immigration, and internal agenda
According to sources from the White House, Trump will primarily address two central topics: the economy and immigration.
Both have been central to his management, but they have also been focal points for growing criticism.
In economic terms, it is expected that the president will defend his tariff policy -one of the cornerstones of his strategy- and address concerns about the cost of living.
Inflation, consistently at 3%, has particularly impacted middle and low-income households in the U.S. This discontent was reflected in the Republican defeats in several states on November 5.
Recent data from the Department of Labor showed a rise in the unemployment rate, which reached 4.6%, marking the highest level in four years, fueling questions about its management.
In response to this, Trump has outlined proposals such as using tariff revenues to make direct transfers to citizens.
"Hundreds of millions of dollars in tariff revenue" could -according to their past statements- become dividends starting in mid-2026, particularly benefiting the most affected households.
In migration matters, it is expected that the discourse will reaffirm its hardline stance.
During this year, Trump has intensified deportations and limited legal avenues for entry into the country.
In its narrative, border control remains a priority, aligned with its campaign promises to "recover national sovereignty."
Internal tensions and a call to the Republican base
Despite his optimistic tone, Trump arrives at this speech in a context of growing skepticism within his own party.
Some conservative sectors have urged him to focus more on domestic issues, criticizing his emphasis on foreign policy and international conflicts.
Vice President JD Vance recently came to the defense of the president, blaming former President Joe Biden for the current issues.
“Voters know that Rome wasn't built in a day. They know that what Joe Biden broke won't be fixed in a week”, Vance stated in Pennsylvania.
Additionally, Trump is in the midst of a mobilization campaign: after leading a rally last week in that same state, he has another political event scheduled in North Carolina this Friday, reinforcing his electoral strategy for next year's midterm elections.
A key moment for your narrative
Although it has not been specified whether Trump will use tonight's speech to announce concrete measures, the choice of a televised format and prime time suggest a clear intention to solidify his message to the nation.
Beyond the management balance, it is anticipated that the leader will project a strong and renewed leadership, aimed at uniting his base and reconquering disenchanted sectors.
It will also be an opportunity to gauge the political pulse of a president who, despite economic turbulence and internal criticism, maintains a message of confidence.
“I hope to see you then,” he wrote on Truth Social when announcing his speech, betting on a narrative in which the future of his administration still holds “the best is yet to come.”
